Dear Leyn,
It’s 2010 and the month of May’s coming quick. As an early start, can you give fashion picks for guys that are trendy now? As for my age, im 17. And the business-y, older look doesnt really work for me. Can you give me, us a down-low on whats in for spring? Im more of a pants guy so it’ll be great if pants are features more.
BTW. I usually shop at Zara and Topman. Thanks a lot!:)

Dear DarrenDynamite,
I usually base my taste for the latest trend from foreign designers and most recent runway collections. But because we don’t have the same season with US or Europe, I just check the pieces that are wearable and appropriate with our climate and culture. Anyhow, since you shop at my favorite stores Topshop/Topman and Zara, it’s easier for you to know the most up-to-date and hippest get-up.
First, I’ve sorted out some of my favorite outfits from the Spring/Summer 2010 Collection of different designers. You can draw inspiration from them. Here are my picks:






As you can see, most of the pieces exhibit dull colors of gray, earth, black and white. I know you’re young and hip, so most likely you’re into colorful and contrasting clothes but if you want to look more sophisticated then follow the pattern of these shades.
Second, I have no idea what’s your physique so I might be suggesting styles that won’t look good on you. But basically, you have to be particular with the right fitting:
Jeans
As mentioned on a previous post, I am still recommending Twister Jeans, Straight and Boot Cut. Then with trousers, pick the Slim style para hindi mukhang formal and you can match it with your shirts or use it during casual days.


Shorts
Quit the super baggy shorts and try the slim type from Topman. This style of shorts is usually knee-length with no extra pockets.

Tops
Based on the pictures from 2010 runway, fine/thin fabric is suggested. My most favorite get-up is from Y3 because the model sported a simple yet young looking fashion. If you’re into printed shirts, make sure to pick light designs with toning colors.

Shoes
Canvas sneakers are must haves this summer. Unlike the high-cut sporty rubber shoes, you can use them with smart-casual trousers or polo shirts. Also, canvas shoes are usually cheaper and lighter.

That’s it. Always remember, less is more.
Love Lots,
Leyn
